DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF SEGWAY

Abstract: Designing and development of Segway Human Transporter covers the modelling and design of co-axial, two wheeled transport vehicle. The paper addresses how the previous disadvantages of segway design were overcame without comprising the features of the original segway. The vehicle comprises of two wheels on either side of the frame. The vehicle is designed to produce zero pollution and is fabricated with cost reduction and complete user safety in mind. It also includes additional features that greatly enhance the overall user friendliness of the vehicle. Furthermore, paper focuses on calculations and necessary design parameters required to fabricate even the simplest type of segway.The paper also discusses how with minimum mechanical components, minimum electronic components a maintenance free segway can be designed and how operator with minimal practice can ride it with great ease.
